William Graham Sumner and NPR

NPR recently reminded about the summers I used to read the American Heritage magazines cover to cover. And reading William Graham Sumner made American Heritage special. He is a truly classic writer with all the phrases that thrill me. And given the link below, he is very much on point for the discussion about education. Here is the link. Read him for yourself. And Enjoy the prose.
